Quickie..

Hi Readers,

Quick update...Was not going to post today but had a suprise when I went down to the culvert, what a difference a day makes, remember the bone dry culvert, well 24hours later it is full...
Remember last week..Bone Dry, this week, 2ft of water...Amazing what a rain storm will do for you.. Turning around you can see it free flowing out of the allotment into the main lake at the back..
Well whilst I am here....Lets take a look...Here's some sweetcorn.We are using the three sisters method, sweet corn, squashes and peas...Here is the squashes..

Our purple sprouting is finally..Sprouting!! So the leafy jungle is now productive..
So we will have loads of that... Where next.. Calabraese is massive, this is the over wintering type...Beautiful, will have to take one tomorrow!
The rhubarb (take a look back in january) is now a triffid.... I am sure we could use some of these leaves as umbrellas..
Finally, looking back over the allotment...A new use for 4litre milk bottles, no need to buy those build a ball things, just use the bottles..
Finally...Answers on a postcard, who is taller , the bean poles or the richard?

Good night..
